7.From the Flow Control Mode pull-down menu, select Enable if you want the port to use Flow Control to prevent buffer overflows.

*Note: Disable this feature only when flow control is causing congestion in other areas of the network.

8.From the Auto Negotiation Mode pull-down menu, select Enable.

*Note: This feature is only available for 10/100 TX

ports. It works best when the port or device on the other end of the connection auto-negotiates as well. If you are having problems auto- negotiating connections, set the modes manually from the command line interface. For example: set port auto 7/3 enable.

9.From the Auto Negotiation Speed Advertisement and Auto Negotiation Duplex Advertisement pull-down menus, set Speed and Duplex Advertisement, respectively. The switch sends these values to the device on the other end of the connection at the start of the auto-negotiating process. In general, the defaults are best, but there may be situations when you want to fix one setting, but allow the other setting to auto-negotiate.

*Note: This feature is only available for 10/100 TX ports.

10.From the Rate Limit Mode pull-down menu, select Enable if you want this port to limit the number of unknown unicast and multicast (flooded) packets it tries to forward.

11.From the Rate Limit Rate pull-down menu, select the percentage of a port’s traffic that can be unknown unicast and broadcast packets. Lower this value if the port is having overflow problems.

12.From the Rate Limit Burst Size pull-down menu, select a packet limit for the number of packets allowed in a single burst. Valid values are 1 to 2048. For Fast Ethernet ports, set this value lower than 1024 (the output buffer’s capacity). Set this value lower if the port is experiencing overflow problems.
